Chapter 246: Significance
As the words fell, Bai recalled some details more presumptuously.
More precisely, it is to relive the recent mental journey.
The planning has reached the current level, and it is almost time to close, when the overall situation is decided, what kind of expression will Xia Mian show, will he be relieved or suddenly lose the motivation to persevere, Bai can't wait to see.
As for what kind of people he is working with, Bai knows very well.
Faded away the traces of the disaster and the tragedy left by the changes, Xia Mian is just the innocent and ignorant little princess at the beginning. She is never ruthless or resolute enough, but whenever things can develop for the better, she will not think about the hurtful side, let alone sacrifice others to achieve her goals.
If she had to do it, maybe she wouldn't have done anything.
When the flower soul chooses Bai as the master, he can spy on something along the remnants of the divine power on the flower soul. The entangled mandala flower has been sleeping for thousands of years with the little princess of Loulan for thousands of years at the time of the long change of years, but there is only a little strength left to guard her body from decay and immortality. And what was also sealed was the once lost civilization of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the shocking lies and cruel tragedies, until the flower soul woke up again, and these clues were gradually revealed.
When it gradually merged with the flower soul, Bai gradually spied on the secret hidden by the flower soul.
It's all about the past of the little princess Loulan.
It's like an extremely sensational movie staged frame by frame, white through the scattered fragments recorded by the flower soul, peeking into Xia Mian's life, which was originally unqualified for him, a mortal after a thousand years, but it was deep in his mind.
What moved Bai was the innocent and pure smile of the little princess's girlhood, although she was a high saint in the temple, but she always wanted to be lazy, the twelve concubines and the chief saint were obedient to chant and pray in front of the high priest, only the little princess showed some clues. She can't hide the agility between her gestures, just like a rare oasis in the desert, as if she has seen the last bit of green, she was synonymous with beauty at that time, and no one can avoid being moved by this.
If it weren't for the fate of the Wu Clan, the little princess would not have come to this point.
It's a pity that the moment the high priest of Loulan summoned the gods, the ending was already set.
The disaster will not stop because of the silence of the flower soul, and it is up to the little princess to stand up again to end all this in order to break the long-term cycle of reincarnation.
Every step the little princess took was like a hand of fate pushing and shoving, first when she moved from the royal family to the temple, then the years when she and her sister were together, and the terrible sacrifice that was full of deception, and finally the tragedy and the long sword that pierced her sister's chest.......
In this process, does Xia Mian have a choice, the answer is obviously no.
She can't even control her own life and death, and at the moment when the evil god of destruction comes, as the princess of Loulan, she will inevitably stand in front of her own people. And driven by the over-inflated divine power, with the White Saintess who became an evil god and the Black Saintess who also absorbed the divine power confronted each other, the result of waiting for summer sleep was to die together.
— or rather, temporary mothballing.
At the moment when the flower soul comes, many things are even more involuntary.
Regarding the tragedy of Loulan, has anyone explained to the little princess, and what she did wrong from beginning to end, these questions cannot be inferred from the truth alone, and for the victims, it is meaningless to explore the cause of the problem.
If there were other choices, the little princess might not choose revenge, but would die quietly.
But the flower soul must have a new owner, and everything will not end.
Can soft-heartedness solve the problem?
The answer is naturally no, at the beginning of the ceremony in the snow mountain, the fate of the little princess changed, and the fate of Bai also changed. Their life and death are involved, and Bai must prompt the little princess to awaken from the flower soul, which is also the only way to keep his life going. What can not be tolerated in the face of life and death, appropriate planning and means, even viciousness and sacrifice, have become a matter of course, without the sacrifice of some people, how can everything be completely over?
Bai knew that Xia Mian was soft-hearted, and the most touching innocence and coquettishness in her body were also because of her soft-heartedness.
She didn't want to sacrifice anything, she always felt that she could bear everything, and the reincarnation of the Wu clan was solved by her, which was a certain degree of torture for Xia Mian.
But as the little princess of Loulan, she was the biggest victim of the lies of the high priest of Loulan back then, and the moment the divine power overflowing from the gods was injected into her body, it was doomed that Xia Mian had no way to pick it up, she was the one who bore the consequences, and she was the one who ended everything, how could Xia Mian be alone when the disaster came?
Bai saw these thoroughly, but unfortunately the little princess didn't see it thoroughly.
She is always unbearable, and she has too many worries, so she will be struggling.
From beginning to end, the only thing that the little princess of Loulan wanted was to solve the hidden calamity of the Wu clan, free herself from the flower soul, and let the terrible reincarnation of the Wu clan come to an end. As for what happened after that, what should be done when all this was over, Xia Mian didn't think about it, and she didn't use it as a motivation to persevere, she almost didn't really plan for herself.
But it doesn't matter, the grasshoppers on the same rope were originally both prosperous and loss-in-the-other.
Xia Mian didn't have to do anything, many things just had to be done by him.
........
What did you talk about in that conversation later?
The night wind blew on Bai's body, and between the swings of the branches, his thoughts drifted so far away.
In the silence of Tsering Gesang, Bai couldn't help but slow down his mood, he saw the confusion and confusion on the young man's face, and the uncontrollable feelings were concealed and leaked along the layers of layers. And just like Tsering Gesang's unintentional words, in such a performance, there is no shadow of whiteness, didn't he see a little bit of himself through Tsering Gesang and Yang Jin.
Thinking like this, Shiro chews on many emotions.
He carefully recalled the emotional deviation and Xia Mian's reaction at that time, as if he wanted to find some kind of answer, and brought everything out to reminisce. Why did the few words before leaving reveal the emotions that had been hidden for so many years, was it because the overall situation was about to come to an end, or because the little princess Loulan couldn't bear to touch him a little at that time?
Do you see these emotions in Xia Mian?
Did she not notice it at all, or did she pretend not to notice it, in vain she pondered Xia Mian's thoughts, and for the first time she only touched the layers of obscure mist, unable to move forward a bit, did not dare to confirm anything, and could not see anything thoroughly.
And for two people who are extremely familiar with each other, the confrontation is mutual, and the suspicion is also mutual.
In the brief silence at that time, Xia Mian was also figuring out Bai's thoughts.
For this man who had to face with twelve points of energy, Xia Mian's attitude was very complicated. Just like under the conspiracy of the Loulan sacrifice, she had to rely on the power of the flower soul to maintain her broken body. Bai, as the chosen master of the flower soul, is clearly in a cooperative relationship with her, but because Xia Mian has too many constraints and restrictions, she has to rely on Bai for many things.
Originally, this was just a simple use, but after a long time, it was inevitably mixed with some inexplicable things.
There are two sides to everything, the more you want to break free, the more you represent fear, the more you are afraid of being bound, and the easier it is to be reluctant to remember after loss. The most difficult thing to get rid of in life is unbearable, and the most difficult to resist is dependence, dependence may not be equal to love, but if there is no love at all, how can you be dependent on a person?
Xia Mian didn't know why she was so resistant to Bai Bai, she didn't know if what she was resisting was the feeling of being controlled, or the vague sense of dependence in her heart, she didn't want to know the answer, or she didn't dare to know the final answer.
So, why is Shiro saying this now?
The little princess thought so, but she couldn't figure out any reason. According to her usual understanding of dialogue, he never directly reveals his emotions, even a few occasional soft words will inevitably be accompanied by more desire to control, as if even sporadic tenderness is a sweet date given after a stick, which is a means to completely break a person's psychological defense.
And such psychological tactics are humiliating for the little princess.
Xia Mian doesn't want to be controlled by others, and he doesn't need cheap gentleness.
But in the past few seconds, Bai's tone was clearly very slow, and the color under his eyes was soft for a moment. Even if the little princess is not happy to admit it, she knows that the concern at that time is real, can the feelings at this time still be called humiliation?
Just thought about it a little deeper, and Xia Mian's heart was in turmoil.
But she didn't want to delve into it, so in the long silence, she only frowned slightly, lowered her words and asked.
"Why, why do you want to reminisce about the past?"
Shiro's eyes were lowered, and he didn't answer anything, just continued to reminisce nonchalantly.
"After coming out of Liuzhen, although you have awakened from the flower soul, you are too fragile, like a soul that will dissipate at any time, as if a gust of wind will blow you away. Ever since I learned about the scattered fragments of the "Goddess's Suit", I have learned how to restore your body, and the planning began at that time. ”
"Isn't everything better after you get the Golden Threaded Clothes?"
"Yes, the golden wielder....... It was the first time I saw the Holy Maiden die in this sacrifice, and it was also the first time I saw the divine power contained in the "Divine Maiden's Battle Suit", even if it was a fragment, no wonder the former High Priest coveted this power. Am I a murderer, if killing someone with a knife is also murder, that saint died because of me. ”
"So you also reflect...... Why, you can't bear it anymore?"
"No, sacrifice is not worth the heart, let alone an irrelevant person, if it is meaningful. I've put a lot of thought into you, and it's all worth it, it's for me and it's for you....... Amiens, that's the meaning. ”
